It's early in the morning, the bright sun has lit up the whole world at the moment, the blue sky and the leisurely white clouds seem to be in harmony, and everyone who has seen all this knows that today is probably another good day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Kikyo usually wakes up early, and when the morning light is just sprinkled, she wakes up from resting, and then gets dressed and leaves the shrine, and usually, she just puts on the shrine maiden costume over the single dress, and that's it, so this process, even if you add washing, it doesn't take much time.
After that, she will bring a bow and arrows, a back basket, and a hat, and go out early, and although she is so diligent, but Kikyo actually doesn't have much to be busy with, going out so early, and the things that will be carried out are only such a small thing as collecting medicine.
In fact, the shrine does not have any economic resources, and the reason why it can be maintained is actually largely due to the relief of the villagers, who usually send surplus food and vegetables to the shrine, which can be regarded as a kind of worship.
For the villagers, Kikyo is not only a witch who guards them in the hands of those demons, but more often, it is also a kind of spiritual support, and even the leader of this village, as long as there are some things, they will come to Kikyo for advice, and often the intelligence of Kikyo can always point out the way forward for the villagers, so that the current situation has been formed.
From Kaede,Sakura can basically know,Actually,Compared to the work of retiring the monsters,It's about helping the villagers to take up most of the time.,No matter what kind of sacrifice.,Or what kind of big thing.,Basically, they'll come to look for Kikyo.,At the same time,Kikyo is also the doctor in this village.,Almost all illnesses and the like.,You also need to rely on her.ć
And the reason why it is such a quiet time now, according to Kaede, it means that the villagers in the village are healthy, and life is also very smooth, which is something that makes Kikyo very happy, of course, it seems that this little girl is much more happy to smile......
ā¦ā¦
"Pak~"
There was a soft crash, and it caused Sakura to pull away her closed eyes and look at the shrine maiden who had taken off her hat, and many parts of it were already wet due to the dew.
Holding the hat on the shelf outside the shrine, Kikyo, dressed in a shrine maiden costume, walked in, and the basket she was carrying behind her was full of all kinds of herbs, and put the basket aside, she walked straight to Sakura, who picked up the teapot in front of her, poured some cold tea into the cup and put it in front of the cushion in front of her.
"Thank you."
Softly thanking her, Kikyo knelt down and took a sip of tea, because the weather was getting hotter, after such a little activity, it was enough for her to sweat, and there were very fine sweat stains on her hair.
"Where's Kaede, Sakura?"
After putting down the cup in his hand, Kikyo asked Sakura calmly and casually, and after hearing her question, Sakura didn't answer immediately, but directly looked outside the house, Kikyo saw this, and also looked at her line of sight, at this time, the sound of brisk footsteps also came.
"Hee-hee~Kaede-chan is really slow~"
After the energetic and childish voice sounded, a petite voice suddenly jumped in from outside the door, with long golden silky hair, big golden eyes, and a white dress, it was Xiao Aiqi.
"Sakura-chan~ Before, Ai Qi also helped do a lot of things!"
As soon as Aiqi entered the door, she ran barefoot towards Sakura, and as usual, when she was two or three steps away, she jumped up and pounced on Sakura, looking very happy, but the result was the same as usual......
"Smack-"
"Bang-"
Without mercy, Sakura stood up directly, and then raised his right hand, put his fingers together, and sent out a powerful hand knife, and as the target of this hand knife attack, Aki's head was hit without any suspense, and he fell heavily to the ground, making a somewhat dull sound.
"Really! You took away other people's headbands again~ Aiqi-chan, you are so naughty, and you have to help your sister do things later! ā
At this time, from the door of the shrine, a little girl walked in after Xiao Aiqi, it was Kaede, she was also holding a sieve at this time, and it seemed that she had not had time to put down the things in her hand before, so she chased after her.
Kaede's right eye is still wrapped in a cloth, after all, it's only been a few days, if you want your right eye to recover, it will take a while, and the wind also said that there is a feeling of itching in the position of the right eye, which is a sign of recovery, and during this time, she was also "strictly ordered" by the bellflower to protect her right eye well, and she can't open her eyes casually or unwrap the cloth.
"Ahh Sister, you're back! ā
It was also at this time that Kaede also saw the bellflower who had returned, and said to her, and then she also saw the hat placed outside, as well as the back basket by the door, and after seeing Kaede, the bellflower also spoke calmly.
"Feng, wait a minute, sort out the medicinal herbs I brought back according to different categories, and the processing process after that will be the same as before."
"yes, okay."
After hearing Kikyo's command, Kaede also nodded with a smile and answered, and then, he walked over slowly, and while stabilizing the sieve in his hand, he stretched out his hand and took the white ribbon in the hand of Aiqi, who was in a state of "hitting the street" at the moment.
"Hmm-that's too much, Sakura-chan! It's like this every time, it really hurts! You see it's already grown out of such a dozen bags! Won't it be lighter next time?! ā
At this time, the little Aiqi, who was lying on the ground, also held her head and got up from the ground, and in the position where she was holding her head with her hands, there was indeed a bag visible to the naked eye, and at the same time as making a sound, she also puffed up her bun face, and said to Sakura with a resentful expression.
"Well, it'll be lighter next time."
"Alas, alas, alas! Sakura-chan, you actually answered?! ā
It's rare, Sakura will respond to Eggie's words at this time, although it seems to sound weird, but Aki is still very happy about this situation, even forgetting the pain in her head, and looking surprised, she jumped up again and hung directly on Sakura's body, and of course, Sakura, who had long been familiar with her urine, also reacted.
"Kusan Whistle! Uh-huh! Lazy swaying! (Let go!) Sakura-chan! The face will get bigger! ļ¼ā
Directly pinched her face by Sakura's one hand, Aiqi, who was lifted in mid-air, had a few tears in the corners of her eyes, holding Sakura's arm with both hands, and said to her, but Sakura put her down directly without opening her mouth this time, because, at this time, another person visited the shrine......
"Kikyo-sama!"
Entering the shrine is a male villager, when Sakura and his party entered the village, once seen, he slowly walked into the shrine, to the bellflower is very respectful to the salute, before wiping the sweat on his head, it seems to be early in the morning.
"Is there something going on in the village?"
Kikyo walked up a few steps slowly, and said very gently to the villagers, and this situation also made Sakura understand why Kikyo went out so early, this is because she knew that if the villagers had something, they would come to her at this time, and only by completing these things early, she could help the villagers who might come to her in time......
At this time, Kaede was standing on the side with a sieve, also quietly waiting for the villagers' narration, on the other side, it was Sakura who was standing, and on her side was Aiqi, who was rubbing her cheeks a little red, because after receiving Sakura's "keep quiet, otherwise you will be punished" look next to her, she also stood obediently to the side.
"That's right, some time ago, among the guests who came to the village, there was a scholar, and he suggested to us that the fields should be reformed in order, and that there should be a 'windmill' by the river, and we villagers discussed it, and we came to ask Kikyo to see what you think."
The villagers briefly explained the matter to the bellflower, looking at his expression, probably the rest of the villagers are the same, they all hope that the bellflower they trust the most can make a decision, for them, compared to those strange outsiders, or the bellflower is more credible.
"Is that so...... Okay, you go back first, I'll go to the village right away after I'm tidying up." ā
After hearing the narration of the villager, the bellflower also thought about it slightly, and then said to the villager, and after hearing the bellflower's answer, the villager did not hesitate, and after saying goodbye respectfully, he went back first.
They also know that only after Kikyo knows the specific matters can they make a judgment, and it is precisely because Kikyo is such a conscientious and responsible witch that they will always believe in her like this......
ā¦ā¦
"You've been staying here for a while, and now, would you mind going out with me, Sakura?"
After the villagers left, Kikyo turned his head and asked Sakura calmly, and the main reason why she would call Sakura was that both of them understood that since it was Sakura and her party, then having her would make it easier for the two sides to communicate, and there would be a bridge.
"Kaede, you just stay here, remember to dispose of these herbs well, take advantage of today's sun, if it can be dried, it will be the best."
After giving an order to Kaede,Kikyo directly added a protective enchantment to the jade of the four souls enshrined in the shrine,And strengthened the enchantment outside the shrine.,Before setting off with Sakura,Such caution and arrangement,It can't help but make people sigh some admiration for Kikyo's caution......
